A closure capsule for closing a container, comprising: a cap (2) to be associated with the container and comprising a frangible mouth (20); a cutter (3) for opening said frangible mouth (20); a covering (4) protecting said cap (2) and said cutter (3) and comprising an intactness band (40); first toothed connection means (5) afforded on the covering (4) and on the cutter (3) and that make said cutter (3) and said covering (4) rotate integrally. The closure capsule is movable from a initial configuration to an operative configuration, wherein the intactness band is removed and the frangible mouth is broken. In the initial configuration, the cap, the cutter and the covering contribute to the definition of walls of a reservoir (8) for containing a product to be dropped into the container in the operative configuration.

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a closure device (1) for a container (2) in which a flowable material (3) is stored whereby the manufacturing process includes the following steps: moulding of the base element (4), the lid (8) and the hinge (12) with the lid (8) being moulded in its open position; closing of the lid (8) to the base element (4); moulding of the tamper evidence indication means (13), whereby the tamper evidence indication means (13) comprising a first indication ring (14) and a second indication ring (15) being coaxially positioned to each other and which are connected by at least one radially oriented frangible bridge (6); assembly of the tamper evidence indication means (13) into the base element (4) and the lid (8); assembly of the spout (11) into the base element (4).

A container assembly includes a container, a closure and a one-piece tamper-evident label. The container has a neck portion defining an opening and a body portion. The body portion includes at least one sidewall and a bottom opposite of the neck portion. The closure fits to the neck portion of the container for closing the opening. The closure includes a top wall portion and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The one-piece tamper-evident label is permanently attached to the container and the closure. The label includes at least one line of weakness extending across thereof. The label covers a majority of the at least one sidewall and substantially extends around the circumferences of the container and the closure. The label is configured to be separated into at least a first label portion and a second label portion via the at least one line of weakness.

Represented and described is a resealable pouring element for cardboard/plastic composite packages, in particular beverage packages, with a base element having a circumferential fastening flange as well as an external thread, with opening means arranged at least in the unopened state of the pouring element in the interior of the base element and with a screw cap with internal thread, wherein the opening means are designed such that when the composite package is initially opened by unscrewing the screw cap by breaking the composite material of the package or a barrier layer located in the base element, a pour opening is created inside the pouring element and wherein at least one tamper-evident seal is arranged between the base element and the screw cap. In order to reduce the assembly effort for such a resealable pouring element, it is provided that an anchor ring is arranged below the screw cap and is connected to the screw cap via a hinge a rotationally fixed manner and in that the tamper-evident seal consists of an indicating element, whose one end is fixedly connected to the anchor ring or the screw cap and in which the other end is connected to the anchor ring by means of a predetermined breaking point in such manner that the predetermined breaking point of at least one mandrel element arranged on the fastening flange is broken when the screw cap is unscrewed and thus indicates to the consumer that an initial opening has already taken place.

A device adapted to provide evidence of tampering. The device comprises a sleeve and an insert that is positioned within the sleeve. The insert comprises a flap that is movable between a closed position and an open position. In particular, the flap is adapted to move from a closed position to an open position when the position of the sleeve relative to the insert is changed a predetermined amount to try to open the container. As a result, an open position of the flap would readily indicate tampering to a user. A system comprising a tray adapted to receive at least one said device is also provided.

A blank for forming a tamper evident container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. A bottom flap is foldably connected to an edge of the bottom panel on the first end of the blank. A top flap is foldably connected to an edge of the top panel on the first end of the blank. The bottom flap includes a major flap and a minor flap, the major flap connecting between the bottom panel and the minor flap. The top flap includes a catch point feature and wherein the minor flap includes a trap aperture configured to catch the catch point feature of the top flap when opening a container constructed from the blank to provide a tamper evident access feature.

A locking cover for a container having a neck comprising: a cage made from plastic; a body made from plastic, which is fastened around the cage, the body comprising a central orifice; a cap configured to close the central orifice, the cap comprising a flat head to cover the orifice and fastening lugs caught between the cage and the body. Each fastening lug has a breakable zone, and the cap is made from a plastic material, different from the plastic material of the cage and from the plastic material of the body, the plastic material of the cap being chosen to have a resistance to rupture reduced by a dose of gamma irradiation for sterilizing the locking cover.

A metallic can end having a reclosable opening, a microgap or weakening line provided in the metallic end surface and peripheral about the opening, a sealing frame connected to the end surface and surrounding the opening region, a closure unit connected to the upwardly pivotable metal end region disposed within the microgap or weakening line, that is pivotably attached to the end surface via a pivot bearing. The sealing frame and the closure unit are composed of plastic material and cooperate in a sealing manner with one another via sealing and latching ribs that form sealing edges with associated reception grooves. The metallic can region disposed within the peripheral microgap or weakening line is received and held in the opening region of the end. The sealing edges are configured such that the radially innermost sealing edge still seals when the radially outer sealing edges have just been released.

A device adapted to provide evidence of tampering. The device comprises a sleeve and an insert that is positioned within the sleeve. The insert comprises a flap that is movable between a closed position and an open position. In particular, the flap is adapted to move from a closed position to an open position when the position of the sleeve relative to the insert is changed a predetermined amount to try to open the container. As a result, an open position of the flap would readily indicate tampering to a user. A system comprising a tray adapted to receive at least one said device is also provided.

A pouch fitment (10) is provided and comprises a base (12) which is attachable to a pouch and includes a dispensing spout (20). The fitment further comprises a closure (14) for closing the spout. The closure is non-releasably associated with the base.
